Sanders Confronted On Private Jet Use For ‘Fight Oligarchy’ Tour With AOC

Socialist-minded “independent” Sen. Bernie Sanders defended his use of private jets to travel back and forth during his “Fight Oligarchy” tour with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Wednesday.

Sanders and ‘AOC,’ both of whom have used their ‘tour’ to rail against wealthy Americans, have been the focus of criticism from the right for what many conservatives see as rank hypocrisy on this issue. But during his interview with Baier, Sanders not only pushed back on the criticism, but he also justified the use of a form of travel that only the richest Americans can afford.

“You’ve gotten criticized from other people. Free Beacon says ‘Bernie Sanders spent $221,000 on private jets on Fighting the Oligarchy tour, paid for by friends of Bernie Sanders…’ that you’ve spent millions of dollars in campaign funds on private jet travel over the years. How do you push back on both of those things?” Baier asked.
